If you are looking for something easy to make your lawn look better, curb edging is for you. At A+ lawn care, we have the best concrete edging around. Our process makes the edging durable, tough and visually appealing. Concrete edging is best installed when the weather is above 50 degrees, so generally spring to late fall. Below we will share with you how our edging can make your lawn better.
Process:
Design:
First, we will remove any edging you have. We can then go over where you want the next edge to be located. We use spray paint to show you lines of where it will be. You can then choose if you want the edge wider or to make more definition.
Trenching and preparation:
After designing the curb edging, we use a special tool to start forming a trench for the concrete edging to lay in called a bed edger. This will run exactly along the spray painted lines. Once the trench is completed, we will start filling and forming the concrete edge.
Concrete Installation:
Once we are ready for the concrete step, we hand mix the concrete. When mixing the concrete we will add the desired color the customer wants. Then, the concrete will be poured into the trench. To do this we use a machine that applies the concrete continuously with a steel cable and mesh that adds durability.
After pouring the concrete, A+ lawn care makes sure to get all air bubbles our and make expansion spaces. The joint help make concrete curbing last longer so it can prevent cracking. Once this is done, more color can be added or hand carved patterns or designs or adding hand carved natural stone.
After the curb is done, we wait one week to come back and apply sealant after the concrete cures. The sealant protects the concrete and helps to maintain color without fading, and keep the concrete curb looking good.

Maintenance of the edging is just applying sealant on the concrete to maintain a barrier to keep it looking fresh and to prevent fading and wear. The sealant should be applied ever 2 years.
